The five-day Tube strike in London is expected to cause significant economic disruption, costing businesses hundreds of pounds daily, reducing productivity, and decreasing consumer footfall, with an estimated direct cost of around £230 million, and potentially higher indirect effects, impacting various sectors including retail, hospitality, and professional services.
A five-day strike on the London Underground began over pay and working conditions, causing significant disruptions to millions of commuters and affecting other transit services in London, with services expected to be severely limited or halted from Sunday to Thursday.
London Underground services are expected to be severely disrupted due to a series of walkouts by union members, with little or no service anticipated from Sunday evening to Friday morning. The strike, initiated by the Rail, Maritime and Transport union (RMT) over a below-inflation pay increase, is estimated to cost the hospitality sector up to £50m. While alternative transportation options like buses and trams will continue to run, passengers are advised to complete their journeys by 17:30 GMT and expect significant disruptions throughout the week.
